Located near the French city of Dijon, in central-eastern France, Burgundy is seen as the international benchmark for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir winemaking around the world. The Burgundy region covers a large area that includes Chablis and over 100 other appellations (regions, villages and vineyards). The five key areas in Burgundy are; Chablis, Cotes de Nuits, Cotes de Beaune, Cote Chalonnaise and Maconnais. Within Chablis, the vineyards that produce the wines of Chablis Premier Cru and Chablis Grand Cru tend to be located on the sides of the valley that have a south facing aspect, ideal for developing more concentrated fruit aromas and flavours. Some of the best Pinot Noir wines are produced in the Cote de Nuits while the Cote de Beaune is more well known for producing exceptional Chardonnay. The appellation system highlights these differences across all of the appellations in Burgundy. For example, almost all of the red grand cru wines (such as Romanee-Conti)  are produced in the Cotes de Nuits while all of the white grand cru wines are produced in the Cotes de Beaune (such as Montrachet).
